[Mr. Danmaku No.]

Welcome to the danmaku thread for the night!

The word tonight is full stage or extra stage runs. Let's focus more on real-game scoring, rather than single-stage scoring.

We'll start with UFO, Stage 1-3. Any character, Normal and Lunatic difficulty open. Shouldn't take too long to finish, so we'll go for a half-hour for this. Other challenges will be more around 45 minutes to an hour.

The deadline is 22:50. Get your scores in before then!

The rules for this run, and every other run we'll play tonight:

1) Restart all you want. Just make sure you don't restart so much you won't be able to submit your screenshot in time!
2) No replays or saved scores. You can restart, so you should be able to get a respectable score without resorting to this.

There won't be enough time tonight to play every game and its extra, obviously, so request any games you're interested in if you want to play them.

Can one of you danmaku masters tell me how to beat Exception? I'm stuck on the 4th boss.

I know you have to open the sides but it always closes before I can get up the opened path.

[Anonymous No.]

Ah, crap, don't have enough time to do this...

[Let's Play some Danmaku. No.]

Shameless bump.

exactly, when i discovered this new thread it was already too late

i appreciate you speeding things up but you shouldnt rush it when nobody knows about the thread in general

inb4 jp is too fast

[Mr. Danmaku No.]

>>2296342

Well, you're welcome to request a game for the next round to make up for it. The first round was just for warmups and gathering interest anyways.

[Chibicon !146FIGmXbc No.]

I need to learn to just press the damn bomb key once I know I'm going to die.

I see you've divided.

Not an extra, not SA. I need a round to warm up.

[Chibicon !146FIGmXbc No.]

>>2296361
Well, damn... Lost this one big time.

Graze victory perhaps.

I always invite people to host threads like this. I have seen some threads on the past, but most of the people that have hosted have dissapear aswell.

Since I started doing this some months ago (got the idea and worked out really good) I have tried to make a thread at least one a week. I have been pretty much alone trying to introduce this threads to /jp/.

[Mr. Danmaku No.]

I win, I guess. Let's see some more entries next round, everyone!

>>2296382

A classic, then. Next round is the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, full game run. We'll have Normal and Hard open, since Lunatic is really hard and nobody ever submits scores for it in the other threads.

The round will end at 24:00. Should be enough time for people to play both modes, if they want.

[Anonymous No.]

I wish this was made earlier and not on a Sunday night.

I wish I could even beat EoSD on easy, much less normal.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2296456
Wat, it's the easiest easy. And I don't mean to sound like an ass, I'm fucking terrible. I only just 1CC'd it today.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2296461
*shrugs*
I can do PCB and IN easy 1CC
I fucking fail at EoSD.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2296471
I'd love to be able to 1CC PCB easy, hell, I only just cleared it for the first time yesterday. I guess you're just not used to playing without a visible hitbox?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2296482
Wait, nevermind. It's my memory playing tricks on me.
I did clear it. It's just that I remember that I've never fought Remilia. Goddamn 5 stage easy.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2296402
This run was hilariously bad. Cirno didn't cooperate on her supergraze spellcard and stole literally 3 million points total just by moving away EVERY TIME I TRIED TO GRAZE HER SHIT. I failed 2 of Meiling's spell cards, one of which was by a death that came out of fuckin nowhere. Failed half of Patchy's shit, but no deaths, since I expected to fail them once I realized I had only played Marisa A on hard, so I had no idea what to expect on the spell cards. Then Sakuya comes and I destroy every single fuckin spellcard she has, thinking "holy shit this is easy", and she gets pissed at me, taking two of my lives with her last spell card, and then refusing to be supergrazed as a midboss, taking another FUCKIN TWO LIVES AND GODDAMNIT NOW I'M IN DANGER OF FAILING TO EVEN 1CC. I played super conservatively on Remilia, and ended up with a SHIT score.

[Mr. Danmaku No.]

>>2296525

Cirno and Sakuya have supergraze cards? Interesting. EoSD is the only game I don't really know how to do scoring tricks on; I just try to get lots of point items and graze when I can.

Time for Hard mode, I guess!

[Mr. Danmaku No.]

Oh, also, any requests for the next game/mode?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2296533
Cirno's laser spellcard can give you 700 grazes by itself and both of Sakuya's midboss incarnations are good for 1500. The problem, though, is that supergrazing eternal meek is a total crapshot. Sometimes she hits you at point blank, sometimes she doesn't. Meiling, though, is the undisputed master of graze in EoSD. Her stage is good for 1000, the pinwheel for 1500, the noncard where she summons guys from the stage for 1000, and the rest of her stuff combined maybe another 500. Combine this with the bullet cancel glitch (I think it's a glitch at least. You can go in the corner and you'll still have cancelled bullets coming towards you after the bomb ends, so they'll be counted under the same scoring system as bullets canceled at the end of a card, i.e. they're worth 10-50x more), and you have one of my favorite scoring stages in the series.

Tried to do hard, got raped by an enemy in stage 2 exploding in my face as I went to collect, ragequit.

[Mr. Danmaku No.]

>>2296615

Yeah I died on Demarcation and then restarted and died on the first wave of enemies on stage 2 because I am incompetent. Didn't think I had enough time for a full run after wasting that time.

[Mr. Danmaku No.]

Only one other entry again, huh. I'll run one more round; if there's only one other person entering again I'll probably stop for the night. If you guys don't want to do full stage runs, you can just let me know and I can mix it up. I'm pretty open to suggestions!

Next round is Perfect Cherry Blossom, Extra Mode. Any character is fine. Same rules.

Round ends at 24:50. Good luck!

The problem is that there aren't many people on /jp/ to begin with, and full runs/ extras exclude 1/2 to 2/3 of your potential player base on top of that. But still, midnight on a sunday night, you're not gonna get much even if you did normal games.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2296696

Don't get too boggled down due to the lack of entries; normally, I'd be eager to participate in one of these threads, but I'm too occupied trying to get the new Yume Nikki fangame or whatever it's meant to be running. Many others are probably going through the same thing right now.

[Anonymous No.]

I used 8 bombs on the last 2 cards. That should tell you how badly they scare me. Is the last card even POSSIBLE if you don't get a safespot?

[Mr. Danmaku No.]

>>2296719

Yeah, that's understandable. People should speak up if they want to play differently, though; if you want to play Touhou but don't want to play how the thread dictates, let the host know so they can change it and allow more people to play. We're more interested in letting everyone have fun than running the thread in a specific way.

>Is the last card even POSSIBLE if you don't get a safespot?

It sure is. It's just harder.

[King Danmaku No.]

Looks like we're done here. I won all three rounds so I crown myself King Danmaku.

Sorry for making the thread late at night, but I'm very rarely home before 7 or 8pm MST, so if I want to make a thread I don't really have a choice.

[Let's Play some Danmaku. No.]

I mostly do my threads on weekends, but sometimes I'm not able to do them. It would be good if we can set a day for each of us to host a thread, right if you're also available to host threads on weekends.
